Abstract

A critical gap in understanding the global methane (CH 4 ) budget is the quantification of emissions from small artificial water bodies. One mechanism that may be driving increased CH 4 emissions is an increase in natural emissions from inland aquatic ecosystems, such as small water bodies (
